Gu Chengyu thought that he had to send someone to inspect the Changtian Mansion. Once any weak spots were found, they could repair them in time, otherwise it would be too late.
"I heard that there have been heavy rains for days in Jiangnan and other places, but it only rained for two days here. It is much hotter than in previous years. This year's weather seems to be abnormal than in previous years."
Zhu Pang felt that Lonicera fanned too slowly, so he snatched the fan from Lonicera's hand, opened his collar, and started fanning vigorously.
"If you can't cool down in your own house, why do you come to my place?"
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu ordered Lonicera to go to the big kitchen to bring sour plum soup.
He had dug an ice cellar in his house and stored a lot of ice. Not only did his mother love to drink the iced sour plum soup, but even Father Gu praised it.
Sour plum juice is good for relieving the heat. When Zhu Pang heard this, he quickly shouted for Lonicera to heal quickly.
"Didn't I just tell you the good news? I said, you are too stingy! It's so hot today, you even skipped the ice basin and still blew the warm wind in the yard. Look, you took your little girl
Give it hot?”
Zhu Pang blinked and said with a lewd smile.
Gu Chengyu was not afraid of heat, he knew it. Seeing that Lonicera was not around, he simply started joking.
Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, he thought it was quite cool here.
"If you feel too hot, then go inside the house! There is an ice basin inside." After saying that, Gu Chengyu took the lead and walked ahead.
Zhu Pang's fear of heat is not just a matter of a day or two. He has been an old friend for so many years, how can he not know what Zhu Pang is thinking?
Zhu Pang followed behind with a smile on his face, "I said you just don't know how to cherish the beauty of the girl. This little girl is getting better and better, and you don't plan to take her in as a married woman or something?"
He suddenly remembered that Gu Chengyu was sixteen years old this year and didn't even have a roommate. It was unbelievable that he was so clean and self-sufficient.
Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes, this old married man was different, his words were much more open than before.
"You'd better mind your own business! I heard that you recently took in a concubine? I'm not telling you, my wife just gave birth to a big fat boy for you, so you couldn't wait to take in a concubine and carefully kept her.
Heart."
Kong Shuhuan gave birth to a fat boy for Zhu Pang three months ago. Zhu Pang was so happy that she even came to him to share this joy.
Their first child is a girl, who is only two years old this year. Logically speaking, after giving birth to the first child, one should take good care of their body and wait two years before conceiving again.
Who knew these two people were so eager, one after another.
But Gu Chengyu can understand Kong Shuhuan's thoughts. Because the first child is a girl, that's why she can't wait, right?
If a woman in the back house does not have a son by her side, she will probably be so worried that she cannot sleep at night. How about pitiful women in ancient times?
Not having a son, whether from a poor or rich family, is a woman's fault.
How can a woman be as happy in her husband's family as in her parents' family? Without a son, she can't stand upright.
"That's not what I asked for. She took the initiative to give it to me! She was injured after giving birth to a son this time and has to recuperate for a while, so she gave me a concubine so that she can serve me."
Zhu Pang looked disapproving. He thought this was an ordinary thing.
Gu Chengyu shook his head and did not intend to persuade him again. After all, this was someone else's family matter.
Zhu Pang was born and raised in this dynasty. He was used to the men of this dynasty having three wives and four concubines, so it was impossible for him to keep his integrity for Kong Shuhuan.
And Kong Shuhuan also had her own considerations. It would be better to find an obedient concubine to tie up Zhu Pang than if Zhu Pang found a shady or trouble-making concubine in the future, right?
"But, you are already sixteen this year, why haven't you found a roommate? Your mother didn't push you?"
In fact, he wanted to ask Gu Chengyu if he didn't have any curiosity about women? These girls in the house, getting along with each other day and night, would always produce some charm, right?
Could it be that Gu Chengyu
Gu Chengyu didn't know what Zhu Pang was thinking about him. Speaking of this, he also had a headache.
Just last month, his mother wanted to send a beautiful girl over. What the purpose was, it’s self-evident!
In the end, he refused on the grounds that he wanted to practice martial arts and could not approach women. Yes! This reason is so ridiculous, but it is very useful.
His mother knew that he was practicing martial arts, so he lied to Ms. Lu, saying that he had practiced martial arts like a boy's martial arts and that he could not break the precepts yet.
His mother believed it to be true and suppressed the matter for the time being. What he was worried about now was not the girl with whom he had married, but that he was already sixteen, and Yao Mengxian would have hair extensions in a few months.
It’s time to put the wedding on the agenda!
Gu Chengyu was very comfortable in his mansion, but the life of Qian Huichun, the prefect who was far away in Changtian Mansion, was not easy.
"Sir! It's not good, the river near Yuanli Village is almost full of the dam."
A government official hurriedly entered the mansion. He didn't have time to wait for anyone to inform him, so he rushed straight into the study.
"What? Who is the official guarding the increase? Why wasn't it reported earlier?" Qian Huichun was shocked when he heard this and immediately jumped up from his chair.
He had a bad premonition in his heart, always feeling that something bad would happen.
"Sir! The water in this river is rising too fast. When I went to see it this morning, the water had just reached the position where the inscription was. I never expected that the water would rise so fast."
The clothes on the yamen servant's body were completely wet, and the water flowed down the corners of his clothes and dripped on the velvet carpet in the study.
But no one will care about this at the moment, because the surge in river water is an urgent matter now.
Qian Huichun was pacing back and forth anxiously in the study room, feeling very panicked.
"Sir! If the river is completely submerged, farmland and houses will definitely be flooded. Yuanli Village downstream will definitely bear the brunt. Yuanli Village is a big village. There are 128 households in one village and more than 800 houses.
People. Besides, the surrounding villages are densely packed and connected together, all on the lower reaches of the river. If the river water pours out, the consequences will be disastrous."
Chen Zhao looked at his master's helpless appearance and quickly reminded him.
"Nonsense! Of course I understand this, but now that the heavy rain keeps coming and the water level keeps rising, what can I do with him? If it doesn't work, I will evacuate the people first, and I can't do anything else."
Qian Huichun was so anxious that he decided to evacuate the people first. Otherwise, when people died, the matter would become a big deal.
Qian Huichun was hesitating. The situation was urgent. Should he report it?
But if the rain suddenly stopped after he reported it, wouldn't it be worth the loss? This is related to his career. Once reported, it will definitely affect his political performance.
Qian Huichun was currently at war with heaven and man. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to wait!
Anyway, the dike was just reinforced this year and should be quite strong. Even if the water overflows, it is unlikely that the villages and farmland will be submerged so quickly.
